Kinetic and Regulatory Properties of Aconitate Hydratase as a Model-Indicator of Cell Redox State under pH Stress.

This paper presents an analysis of the regulation activity of the partially purified preparations of cellular aconitate hydratase (AH) on the yeast cultivated at extreme pH. As a result of purification, enzyme preparations were obtained from cells grown on media at pH 4.0, 5.

Proteomics Readjustment of the Yeast in Response to Increased Temperature and Alkaline Stress.

Yeasts cope with a wide range of environmental challenges using different adaptive mechanisms. They can prosper at extreme ambient pH and high temperatures; however, their adaptation mechanisms have not been entirely investigated. Previously, we showed the pivotal role and flexibility of the sugar and lipid composition of upon adaptation to unfavorable conditions.

Soluble Sugar and Lipid Readjustments in the Yeast at Various Temperatures and pH.

Microorganisms cope with a wide range of environmental challenges using different mechanisms. Their ability to prosper at extreme ambient pH and high temperatures has been well reported, but the adaptation mechanism often remains unrevealed. In this study, we addressed the dynamics of lipid and sugar profiles upon different cultivation conditions.

Novel efficient promoter of the mitochondrial porin, voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), in the genome of the Yarrowia lipolytica yeast.

This article presents the characteristics of the highly inducible promoter of the gene encoding the mitochondrial porin, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC). This promoter is recommended for use in new genetic constructs both in basic research for assessing the adaptive strategy of lower eukaryotes under adverse conditions and in designing new highly competitive transformants producing economically important compounds (proteins, lipids, and organic acids) on its basis.

[Redox Status of Extremophilic Yeast Yarrowia Lipolytica During Adaptation to pH-Stress].

In this study we investigated the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutases (SODs) and catalases (CATs)) and the ROS level in cells of Yarrowia lipolytica yeasts grown in a medium with different pH values (4.5, 5.5 and 9.
